Take comfort in your friends

It's been another quiet day. I'm feeling a little bit better and my pain has responded a bit to the drugs so the weekend hasn't been quite as painful as last weekend, but I think I'm still planning some experimenting to see if I can get it under better control... it would be good if it didn't take three days to calm down - only to repeat the process tomorrow!Unfortunately, my Mum has been in bed for two days with flu-type symptoms now so hopefully she will feel better quickly.I didn't really pick this song today because my Mum's not feeling great, but generally one way I try to keep things in perspective is to always remember there is someone who is dealing with something harder than I am (not talking about my Mum here - nobody worry, she's ok!). It's not always the best way to fix things because someone else's situation doesn't change yours - I still think it's important to address your bad day, cry, scream (or break things!) and then focus on the positive things and move on.My favourite line in this song is about friends. I do not know how we would get through life without our friends and I am very lucky to have some very amazing friends who have really been there for me this year (and also, thank technology for skype!)

R.E.M.
Everybody Hurts

When
your day is long

And
the night, the night is yours alone

When
you're sure you've had enough

Of
this life, well hang on

Don't
let yourself go

'Cause
everybody cries

And
everybody hurts sometimes

*

Everybody
hurts

Take
comfort in your friends

Everybody
hurts

Don't
throw your hand, oh no

*
* * * *

Well,
everybody hurts sometimes

Everybody
cries

Everybody
hurts sometimes

And
everybody hurts sometimes

So
hold on, hold on

Hold
on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody
hurts

And a quote that is always applicable to the best friendships:

“Be who you are and say what you feel because
those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

About Me

I am writing this blog mainly because I hope to share information about my recovery from Lyme disease; and to help increase awareness about Lyme, especially in Scotland across the UK. I also love crafts, jewellery & accessories, gardening & growing vegetables, painting, books, art and quotes, so I might end up talking about some other stuff too... *edit* ESPECIALLY my crazy-unusual shoulder surgery... and my apparent bad karma!
